Has anyone had any experience with this (in air rifle or smallbore rifle)?

I've used the long range model for f class practice at 600 yards. Biggest problem is it's nearly impossible to see shots, even 30 caliber on black targets. We resorted to making a stencil to spray paint the rings of the f class target on light colored paper, shots on a light colored backer show up MUCH better than on black. Given that all smallbore and air rifle targets have black bulls I can't recommend it. At such short distances I would just recommend a spotting scope.

How about the redtail digital scope?

The redtail looks nice but it's $900, I got a nice Celestron spotting scope for $150 and a HMR scope stand used for $100, spotting 0-50 yards is ridiculously easy, even 22 cal holes at 100 yards should be pretty easy, not much small bore shot past that. I have wanted a setup that allows a "monitor" to use during practice sessions, like a live streaming iPad.

I have a Kowa TSN82 spotting scope. It's fine for smallbore. I have an older scope that works fine for air rifle. I was curious if I could find a simple solution for air, smallbore, & 300M shooting with one solution. It sounds like it doesnt pick up shot holes on black targets very well...
